AMERICA Ferrera doesn’t know what she’s going to do with herself now that Ugly Betty has come to an end.

The actress — who played the lead character in the smash hit TV show –  wrapped filming her last scenes earlier this week and is now facing having to find a new job.

“It’s hard for me to even imagine what my life is going to be like now,” says America, who starred in 83 episodes of Ugly Betty.

“I’ve been doing the same thing for the last four years, five days a week, 10 months out of the year. Now, I’m just excited to sleep and not feel like I have four weeks to find something that is worth doing.

“Everyone on the show feels the same way; We’re so lucky we had it and that it was a part of our lives. It’s exciting but sad to come to the end.”

America, 25, has previously revealed that she was in denial about the end of Betty.

“I’ve lived with this character who I’ve loved from day one and I have only grown to feel more connected to her and also responsible for making sure her journey is a complete one,” she said last month.

“Her entire journey was about a transformation, kind of coming into her womanhood and owning herself both physically and emotionally. It’s hard to say goodbye.

“I haven’t really started going there yet because I still have four episodes to shoot. So I’m staying in denial for now and I’ll deal with all those emotions in a little bit. I imagine that when we finally wrap it’s not going to be a dry-eyed goodbye.”
